About NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch (GS108T)
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
70% liked its broad compatibility, while 30% experienced compatibility issues
The switch has Auto-Uplink technology which makes the right link without any manual configuration.
This switch is not compatible with VLAN 2 or 3 for anything other than the built-in VOIP and VIDEO configurations.
87% praised for its easy management features
I found the web-based management interface of the switch easy and friendly.
This managed switch is the best I've used with LACP and VLAN support and an easy interface.
76% liked the flexible mounting options
I purchased the switch because it can be powered over ethernet and does not require a power source, allowing me to mount it wherever I want.
I now have all the ports I need for my 24 port patch panel at the top.
No manual configuration is required for uplink ports as all RJ-45 ports support Auto-Uplink technology to establish the correct link.
89% praised for its fast network speeds, while 11% experienced slow connectivity
I ran several speed tests before going live and every port worked fine.
After switching the ethernet to port 5, all the documents in the queue were printed immediately.
The switch's user interface is outdated.
85% liked the quiet operation, but 15% found it too loud
I need to find a noise-free place for this switch in my network closet as it is the loudest thing.
86% liked the ample port count, but 14% needed more ports for their setup
The switch has 6 10GbE ports and 4 2.5GbE ports, making it perfect for a home lab or a property split into two parts.
I complained that the switch's port died after only 24 days of use, rendering the network printer unusable.
86% appreciated the robust security features, while 14% found them inadequate
If Netgear decides to shut down their cloud service, I may lose functionality of some device features.
I find it inconvenient that the switch requires a cloud account for management utilities.
